Lingkan Reang
Very few dishes from the seven states of northeastern India are known, among them Manipur is one such state which is a treasure trove of many exotic yet divinely delicious foods and dishes.
One such very popular delicacy is the Eromba/Iromba, a preparation from the Meitei community of Manipur prepared with dried and fermented fish and locally available veggies.
Boil any other locally available or seasonal vegetable.
Roast dry red chillies and fermented fish (ngari) over a flame, then mash them together.
Peel and mash the boiled vegetables in a bowl, mixing them with salt.
Add the mashed chilli and fermented fish mixture to the mashed vegetables.
Add fresh coriander leaves and a little mustard oil for extra flavour, mixing everything thoroughly.
Serve Iromba as a side dish with steamed rice or as a dip for snacks.
